The Tennessee Department of Health (TDH) hassuspended a Kingsport psychiatrist’s license after Dr. Adrian Buckner allegedly continued diverting drugs for his own use after an August 2022 drug-induced breakdown. In a summary suspension, the state wrote Dr. Adrian Buckner’s “mental state while maintaining an active medical license poses an imminent danger to the citizens of Tennessee” and that the board of medical examiners “believes immediate action is necessary to prevent harm to patients.”Buckner also faces charges in Sullivan County during an incident of evading responding officers.
